🙋 Answers to Questions

What makes Strut different from other RICS surveyors?

We focus exclusively on commercial and project-based work. We don’t do homebuyer surveys — we advise professionals and investors seeking to protect and enhance property value, supported by robust reporting and RICS-led standards.

Do you act as Monitoring Surveyor for lenders?

Yes. We regularly act on behalf of senior lenders, bridging finance providers, and institutional backers on construction projects and refurbishments.

Can you support my solicitor or accountant?

Absolutely. We produce technical reports and RICS-compliant valuations for use in tax planning, litigation, and commercial negotiations.

Do you act for private clients in workmanship disputes?

Yes — we regularly act for private individuals in workmanship disputes, particularly where there has been contractor negligence, defective workmanship, or misrepresentation of building works. Our reports are clear, independent, and suitable for legal proceedings or insurance claims. Commonly, we work closely with roofing specialists for defects relating to workmanship and interstitial condensation issues on recent installations and new construction property.
